Maison Lampshade

The empire silhouette is quite versatile, but it pairs best with classic ceramic, brass, or wooden table lamp bases. Because of the 18-inch width, it is ideally suited for medium-to-large table lamps rather than small bedside accent lights.

The gathered construction creates subtle folds that diffuse light more softly than a smooth, drum-style shade. You can expect a warm, ambient glow that reduces harsh glare, making it a great choice for living rooms or cozy reading nooks.

The pattern is classic and traditional. While it adds visual interest, the light blue tone is soft enough to act as a neutral in most spaces, blending easily with white, cream, or navy decor palettes.

To keep the gathered fabric looking fresh, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a gentle dusting brush to remove surface dust. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners, as they can damage the fabric and the structural integrity of the pleats.

This shade is designed with a standard spider fitter, which requires a harp and finial to attach to your lamp base. Please ensure your existing lamp has a harp assembly before purchasing.
